DISC is the most widely used behavioral assessment tool, adopted by organizations around the world to improve self-awareness, teamwork and understand different communication styles. DISC scores reveal a person’s natural behavioral styles - Dominance, Influencing, Steadiness, and Compliance. These are sometimes referred to as Directness, Interactions, Sameness and Consciousness. More information about DISC in general and your specific DISC behaviors can be found in your IndigoPathway Results on the "Your DISC Profile" and "Communication Tips" tabs.

Motivators are the driving force behind what truly matters to you, fueling passion, excitement, and fulfillment. Motivators will help you figure out which jobs and activities you might be most interested in. A person with a high Theoretical score, for example, will want the opportunity to learn more about most every subject. Most people are happiest when their job fulfills their top two Motivators. Six Motivators correspond to people’s values: Aesthetic - Desire for form, harmony, balance, or beauty Individualistic - Desire for independence, visibility, rank, or power Social - Desire to help others or solve a problem in society Theoretical - Desire to learn for the sake of knowledge Traditional - Driven by strong beliefs and standards Utilitarian - Desire for a return on investment of time, energy or money More information about Motivators in general and your specific Motivators can be found in your IndigoPathway Results on the "What Motivates You" tab.
